I started making these in 1994 when I couldn’t get rid of mildew in cotton clothing in Puerto Rico. I knew that wool didn’t mildew and from past dryer accidents, and also knew that it would felt/full up beautifully to give a dense fabric with texture and long wearability.
These also make great pot holders after they’ve become really dense. The wool fiber is very resistant to burning or scorching and is a great insulator to protect your hand.
Any textured pattern can be used in center section.**
